As much as I'd love to see this, I don't see it taking off without either 1)including imports, or 2)including Mustangs, Camaros, L's etc. And if it does that, then whats the point really?

I would for sure subscribe to a mag like that! There is no mag like that out there. I sure there are people who would get it. Domestics are getting more popular. US rocks  IMO

It would work if it is played up against the other mags. The first cover should have someone's high power Contour visibly creaming an SRT4, or something similar. Something that gets the "In Crowd" to say "What?  " That will get people reading past the cover and buying the mag. At least imo.
I'd buy it.

I'm interested. I think its about time we stuck it to the imports (even though I don't like Ford very well.)

i think it's a horrible idea. there's not a large enough market for it. how many "domestic tuners" are currently being built? they don't even make the focus svt anymore. there's the caliber SRT and the cobalt/redline and thats pretty much it. and if he doesn't think that the magazine publishing companies haven't looked into it, he's even more retarded than when he was when he was banned. if a company that already has the infrastructure and buying power to produce this as cheaply as possible doesn't want to do it, i'm sure he's pull it off.

It's not a bad idea, but I think maybe it would be interesting to have a tuners magazine that features cars that aren't a dime a dozen in the tuner scene. Whether it be domestic (Contour, Fusion etc) or Import (Maximas, Saabs, Volvos etc).

The domestic scene (excluding muscle cars) is lame. It might as well be called "Dead platform tuning" or "Out of production domestic eco-cars fill in the blank." I forsee it being a lot of low budget american junk (like autozone special Corsicas).
Lets be honest. There is only so much you can do with non-muscle american, because of how little there actually is. Article worthy cars could be covered in 2 years worth of mags. or less. If the cars are that great, they could get into any existing publication.

I'd have to agree, plus anyone that is going to make serious power out of most domestics are going to have to spend a ton of cash since the market is so small.
